CONSISTENCY Is WHAT Is WANTED.
FRIENDS OF THE c. c.: ] notice that several Of
the girls are opposed 10 us boys drinking any kind
ofacoholic liquors That is right, girls; am glad
you opposed TO IL. SO am l. But wonder II
your opposition is like that Of some of the girls
here. ! know girls in little city that claim TO
be temperance girls aud are active members oi INC
w. G. 4. T. and yet in social life they are just as
I ready 20 keep company with young men whom
they know 10 be regular visitors Of the dram-shop
I n with the most temperate boys of the town.
There are boys here who always have plenty OF
money, and can drive fast horses. and wear good
clothes aud 30 with the best OF our girls ana they
are always well received by the girls. even If they
do take their drinks regularly, Girls, y this Tie
way you oppose the use of alcoholic drink Is
this the kind Of inducemcnt you hold out 10 us
boys TO be tempcrateg Now, before you say more,
I stop and ask your conscience If this is right.
II not ii that ia the future you give temperate
! boys the recognition they deserve. You may lose

Resolved Thai The Editor OF The famed NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, by our desire, publish the names and

J. RIDER HAGGARD TAKEN TO TASK.
FRIENDS OF THE c. c.: Concerning the writings
of J. Rider Haggard, as no one else has veuiured
an opinion, will give mine. How many Of Us
have read " She wonder, and how much has
been learned from it, ] finished IL last evening.
and in my opinion il Is sheer nonsense. There is
little that j. really bad nbout H. but on the other
hand, can very little good. One thing 10 rec
onlnend is, he uses more choice language than
that class OF writers usually do. and tells such stu
pendOus lies that there il little fear 81 any being
harmed by believing them. They are FAR superior
10 detective stories aud, yes 50 the love stories Of
the blood -and-thunder style. When you read them
critically, however there h. nothing 10 them. They
arc neither eievatiHg nor refining. aud would
strongly advise all 10 choose other class Of
literature. aud only read such as . She OCCASION
ally FOR the purpose OF criticizing. Books are edu-
Gators. and ought 10 care in the choice Of
our teachers. What shy the Club about tf-CaFTle
